Abstract:

Two plants of medicinal importance Zedoary (Cureuma zedoaria Roscoe) and Turmeric (C. Longa L.) were examined for the presence of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae. VA mycorrhizae were not only recorded in the roots but also in other portions such as scales of the rhizomes and epidermis of the root tubers (so called “Maju”). Scales of Zedoary had many kinds of spores majority of which were formed by a Glomus species.
